Prisoner's Justice Day Monday August 10th

2015 marks the 40th annual PrisonersJustice Day, which began in commemoration of Eddie Nalon, a prisoner who bled to death in the segregation unit of Millhaven prison, in the Kingston area, on August 10, 1974. With the recent deaths of Abdurahman Ibrahim Hassan in Canadian immigration detention and Sandra Bland in a Texas jail, remembrance and action are as urgent and timely now as then.

From 4-8pm, CFRC 101.9fm airs history, interviews, news, features and memorials about prisoners and prison conditions. From 8-11pm, tune in for messages and music requests by and for prisoners and their loved ones and supporters in the community.
